MEN SHOT DOWN LIKE DOGS.

4 few weeks ago We had occasion to
refer to DR.. Wilder and Mr.. Nc
Writer chasing and shooting among
colored men promiscuously. These
men (Wilder and McWhirter) were
not even prosecuted by the State, but
succeeded in having their victims pun
ished. But now we have more
serious case: Robt. Gricr, colored
man. is shot down in the road like a
deer, by two white men, each of them
firing a doublc-barrelled shotgun.
Grier was filed with shot and instant
Nv killed. Now are these men to be
treated as the others? If so, as their
victim is dead, they may get his near
est relatives. have them put in jail, or
Danish them from the county. Is there
no redress for crime committed by a
white man against black man?
We have ever opposed the colored
mans leaving the South, but if this
intolerable state of affairs is not
changed, something must be done to
get the colored man away. This
thing should not and cannot be stood
much longer. We are for peace all
the time, but if we cannot have some
thing nearer justice, let us have a
peaccablc migrating expedition to
Kansas, California, Mexico, Africa,
or any place else where our lives will
be spared.

OUR TRIP EAST.

Three weeks ago we took a trip
east and stopped at several points, but
it has been too long to give a minute
account of what we saw AT Wades-
boro we found Rev, Goshen in the
! midst of a successful revival. He has
closed and reports good number of
converts and accessions both at the
Wadesboro and Sneedsboro church.
Mr.. Sandy Ingram is succeeding with
his new store. Miss Sallie Halls
canary died and left her mourner.
The brown stone quarry is producing
abundance Of fine stone and extra trains
are running almost daily hauling it
North.
At Clarkton VIC met Hon John New
ell, Mr.. VIM. Jones and other well-to-
do colored men who readily subscrib-
ed to the MESSENGER.
At Elizabethtown we met nearly
two thousand people, who were here
to witness the laying of the corner
stone and dedication of Mt. Zion A.
NJ. E. z. church, built by Rev. J. W.
Davis. The county teachers institute
was in session at the same time. There
were several teachers from Brunswick
and Sampson counties, about fifty in
all. The institute was conducted by
Prof. j. w. Jacobs, who taught a
spring and summer normal here. Hon.
J. c. Dancy delivered the address at
the church. We were the guest Of
Miss Mary E. Shaw and were well
cared for.
This is the county seat of Bladen
county, but seems to be on rapid de-
cline. We met many strangers, many
handsome young ladies and intelligent
young men and secured long list of
subscribers.
In Wilmington we found the me-
chanics as busy as bees. The city
seems to be on building boom. The
cotton trade is fairly opened. We
visited St. Lukes and St Stephens
church. St Stephens is the finest
church in the State. 1t is simply
grand. We would not attempt des-
cription. Rev. A. j. Chambers is its
pastor. We made number of pleas
ant calls, but must omit all personals
in these notes.

The Need of Industrial Training.

Among the arrivals of immigrants at
Castle Garden, last month, were many
mechanics, and it is stated that nearly all
found employment in the city. a large
number have come to this country the
past year, and a scarcity of American
mechanics and artisans has been noted
in many sections of the Union. The
commissioner of labor in New York says
that skilled handicrafts in that state
are passing out of the hands of Ameri-
cans and into those of well-trained
foreigners; that the higher the degree
of skill required and the higher the
wages, the less likely the workman to
be an American. In some manufac-
tories where the highest grade of skill
is demanded not an American employee
is to be found. These facts demon
strate the need of providing suitable
manual instruction for American youth.
Indeed, the need of facilities for indus
trial training has attracted attention for
some time past, though as yet no prac-
teal results have been accomplished,
save in a few localities. Boston, st.
Louis, Philadelphia and other places
have something of the kind in success
full operation, while some attention has
been given TO preliminary industrial
training in connection with the public
schools in several states. Brooklyn is
soon to have what promises to be the
largest and best-equipped training
school in the country. All trades will
be taught to young men who have a
natural bent towards mechanics and
and the arts. There will also be a
course for young women, including in
struction in sewing, cooking, house
adornment, type-writing, telegraphy
and such other lighter industries. The
common school imparts little of the
practical knowledge necessary to those
who have their own living to earn,
while the old custom of learning trades
by the apprenticeship system is falling
into disuse. This system had its dis
advantages, but it was much better
than that too much in vogue nowadays
of turning out mechanics to work for
themselves before they have half
learned their trades. The industrial
pursuits are no less honorable than the
learned professions, and young man
who can do something with his hands,
and do it well, is better prepared to
make his way in the world than one
who waits for opportunities to win
fame and fortune which may never
come. The men who win prizes are
generally those who show their ability
by their actions.

Last Weeks Elections.

The Rhode Island election resulted
in the election of Davis, democrat, for
governor by 1858 majority. The demo-
Gratis also elected the encouragement
and treasurer, but there was no choice
for acknowledgements and secretary
of state. The senate is republican and
the house is democratic. In the senate
nineteen republicans and fifteen demo-
Gratis are elected. The house stands
twenty-eight republicans and forty-one
democrats. The prohibition vote was
much smaller than had been expected,
and the woman suffrage constitutional
amendment was defeated by $4,000
majority.
In Michigan the election of the re-
publican ticket for two justices of the
supreme court and two regents of the
state university was made by several
thousand majority. Late returns indi-
cate that the prohibition constitutional
amendment has been defeated by nearly
1000 majority. Avery important cleo
ton was held in Chicago, where the
socialists made determined effort to
elect their candidate for mayor, but
Roche, the republican candidate (who
received much support from other par
ties opposed to socialism), was elected
by majority of 2S,049 votes, or nearly
5000 more than the total cast for the
socialist candidate. The republicans
also have large majority in the boards
of aldermen and councilmen. In Mil
waukee the labor party holds the bal
ance of power in the city council, but
the citizens ticket was successful in
the county. The thirty-two cities of
Wisconsin elected mayors as follows

Railway Legislation in England.

The complications over the long
haul and short-haul question in this
country makes the fact one of interest
that a bill is pending in the British
parliament which proposes to regulate
railway operations on similar plan to
that of the interstate commerce law.
In England the subject has been one of
increasing agitation for years, and the
same difficulties are experienced there
as in this country in framing practi-
cal measure and one that will work
the least injury to any interest. About
the same arguments for and against
the proposition are advanced there as
on this side of the Atlantic. Its advo-
Gates consider the charging of a greater
price for short-haul than for long
one on the same line of rails indefen-
sible. Its opponents maintain that
English railways must take goods des-
tined for the continent at any rate they
can get above the cost of hauling to
compete with water transportation, or
lose the traffic altogether They argue
that if the law says railroad shall not
carry goods from Manchester to Dover
for less than it charges from Manches-
ter to any intermediate point, the rail-
way will have to sacrifice one for the
other sort of traffic. 1t will not sac
rifice that portion from which it gets
nine-tenths of its revenue. 1t will let
go the smaller portion, and the nine
tenths will be no better, but may be
worse than before, as being called on
to make good the loss of the one-tenth.
The same argument is applicable to
the transportation problem in this
country. A good many people do not
seem to understand that there is a
